Essential Information

Appearance: Yuuji has short cut straight black hair and sharp looking dark eyes. He is a little above the average height at 5’8 and weighs in at about 65 kg on average. He is fairly well built with quite decent musculature, clearly very fit and healthy. His skin tone is quite light for that part of the world. He often wears a cold frankly disinterred look on his face like the world isn’t good enough of interesting to him. Except when he tries out a fake smile. Some would consider him to be handsome.

His usual outfit for ‘work’ is a set of light armour dyed black as night, it is very light allowing him maximum mobility and flexibility that he needs when he is climbing in and out of places he isn’t supposed to be. In a more casual setting he prefers wear black or blue robes that one would associate with someone who is neither a noble or total destitute either. All the better to leave people guessing at his background.

Personality: Yuuji is the sort of person who is initially cold and even hostile towards other people. His default reaction to be offered anything or invited to do something is usually to turn his nose up at it as well like he does not care. But gradually he shows people a warmer side after they have known him for a while. Although he would always deny doing so saying he really isn’t a very nice person.

Yuuji has seen and done some very hard things in his life as a result his personality has become a little warped. The most prominent example would be his slightly dark sense of humour, generally pessimistic outlook on life and the way he never really smiles. He tends to approach anyone new he meets with suspicion and can be very difficult to talk too due to a strong sarcastic streak.

On the whole Yuuji is the cold, philosophical and minimalistic type this is partly due to his upbringing by his master a very militaristic man and thus that kind of lifestyle has been ingrained in Yuuji, who exhibits traits of someone that has spent time in or around the military life.

Yuuji would describes himself as a coward though that doesn’t mean he’s afraid and runs away when it’s convenient. He uses this word to describe himself as the kind of person who plans and scouts before action, and would rather hide away from an enemy than outright engage them even though he has enough hand-to-hand and weaponry experience to take down any enemies that he deems physical violence necessary upon. He generally views killing as necessary only to protect something or someone he cares about, he certainly does not enjoy doing it. In fact every time he does it’s like losing a little part of his own soul. He might be very good at it, but really he does not like it.

Family: Yuuji was born into a relatively poor family his father was a man with a bad temper who often abused his mother and Yuuji himself even from a young age. However, he also had an elder sister Kazuki who he loved dearly. She was a genius and the pride of the family also the only one who ever really showed Yuuji much kindness at least until her death, which tore the family apart.

History: The story of Yuuji’s childhood is not what one could call ‘happy’. He was born into a poor family in Lu Kou and from a young age was seen as the useless younger child. Not only was he quite weak his older sister Kazuki was something of a once in a generation genius, everyone who meet her said the same thing. She was the sort of person who the best at everything and everyone expected her to go far. She was also the bright light of Yuuji’s life. She played with him and taught him all sought of things she had learned even how to read and write. They were extremely close. However, their father decided to keep them apart wanting his daughter to focus more on her studies than her brother. In his words to Yuuji “Just because you are useless don’t drag down your elder sister with you.”

After that Yuuji spent very little time around his family, he had no friends at all back then and his sister was not allowed much time with him, his father hated him. He felt pathetic and unnecessary, until he meet her. The governor’s daughter Sachi. She was singularly kind person who took an interest in someone as worthless as Yuuji considered himself to be. They became fast friends and when Yuuji told him what his dad had said she nearly cried telling him that too her, he was important. After that they played together often. They were each other’s best and only friend. They both had their own reasons for being together, Yuuji to escape his father and Sachi to have someone to pay attention to her as his parents with too busy with their job. Back then she was a rather different to the girl of today, quite selfish and spoiled but a very  good person. They needed each other. For that time Yuuji was honestly happy. Then everything changed.

Yuuji sister Kazuki along with 16 other local girls were all killed in an accident that devastated the town. Suddenly the bright light in his life was gone. It destroyed Yuuji’s family, his father took to drinking…heavily. Yuuji and his mother were forced to move away to another, forcing him to leave Sachi. However eventually his father found them and he tried to rape Yuuji’s mother. Turning a hunting knife on his old man, Yuuji cut his throat and ditched him in the river. By the time he had come back, his mother had hanged herself. Leaving him alone who gave a damn about Kazami Yuuji.

He should have died them alone and scared, he had no food or coin and no one wanted to take in a child during a time of famine. He took to the only thing that might work banditry but on the very first attempt to rob someone he can undone. It was a old man, he came up behind him but before he even put a hand on him, the grey bearded stranger turned knocked Yuuji to the ground almost effortless. He thought he was dead then but instead the old man looked him in the eyes and said “We can still save this one.” He must have seen some potential in Yuuji because he took him in. So began his life with the crazy old maverick called Master Shen.

After that Yuuji’s training began. Master Shen Yi was ruthless making Yuuji run miles each day and forcing him threw a physical training regimen that tested and tortured him. As well as schooling him in the intellectual arts as well. After a time the weak boy Yuuji had been was gone replaced by a very fit young man who was starting to become quite knowledgably as well. Yet things did not end there, that was just the beginning. After that came schooling in several different martial arts as well as the use of blades and in particular the bow. Master Shen Yi was one of the lands most famous and skilled archers but in Yuuji he had found something even more special. It seemed that Yuuji was more like his sister than his father had known. He was a once in a generation genius as well, only his skills were in the art of death. Yuuji was beyond a natural fighter and his skill in archery was something very unique indeed. Shen realized his student would in fact one day surpass him as well. Then on his death bed the old man told Yuuji the truth.

Shen had saved and trained Yuuji so that he might one day the boy might replace him, as a member of the Han special defence force. This was a very small but highly secretive organization known to even very few powerful members of the court. They were an off the books unit that specialized in assassination and removal of threats to the empire. They killed anyone who might pose a threat to the national interest or at least that was the idea. Yuuji respecting his master’s wishes joined the organization taking his orders directly from an old friend of his master a women called Liu Yu. She sent Yuuji to train with experts in assassination, infiltration and poison making across the land. Once he had gained the skilled necessary he became a full member of the HSDF. Since then Yuuji has been responsible for taking out countless people who posed a threat to the Han. His skills in this area in fact surpassing his master as old Shen Yi had known they would. His handiwork becoming something legendary to the underworld of the Han empire. Official of course Yuuji is just another soldier, a no body guardsmen working in the capital.

However, with the rise of the Yellow Turbans and the growing corruption of the imperial court, some strange orders have been given to HSDF. Rumours abound that the leadership have been bought off by the ten eunuchs who want to use the government contracted assassins for their own ends. For the moment Yuuji watches patiently waiting for his next orders.

I'm not sure about the use of poison in this. There needs to be some kind of moderation in this. Simply stating poison, and you could have an unlimited amount with varying effects. It comes across as overpowered, because it is not something that can be defended against.

[Kazami Yuuji]

Rather than try to balance it i removed all references to poision instead. Just easier for everyone and they are not strictly speaking nessisary. Acceptable now?

Accepted. And as far as poisons go, there will be items you can obtain that allow the use of it.
